About the Plan
The South Nashville Community Plan was most recently updated in 2017 as part of a scheduled review of the NashvilleNext long-range plan.
All of the Planning Department's fourteen Community Plans are guided by the Community Character Manual, a document which provides detailed policy guidance based on the look and feel of neighborhoods, centers, corridors and open spaces.
